I am new to recording and I am looking for recommendations for a mic preamp amp rack. I currently have Pro Tools LE, Digi 002 rack & mac Pro. I want to record live drums, guitars and other instruments. Please give me two recommendations, one under $1000.00 and the other under $500.00.
Thanks!

hello i'm Ragnar and i'm new here!

i know that this question has been brought up many times but still I'm going to ask

I have a 002r and ada8000 connected via ADAT (see more detailed gear list at: Controlling the transmission of Impact sound through floors).

Hello, I've grown a little tired of my current setup because it involves a lot of back and forth of files and listening... I just want to make things more simple and efficient.

My voice sounds very much like Jeff Buckley. What preamps would you recommend for that sound?

I am currently using API.

Thanks.

Hey Guys,

Looking for some serious answers for a good pre for my Shure SM7B.
I particularly do lots of voice over reads for radio and looking for something to give me that added oompf from my dynamic mic.

thanks for any input in advance...looking to spend no more than $200

I am basically wondering if hooking up a preamp via lightpipe to my 003 involves anything more than simply plugging it in and seeing the inputs in Pro Tools. Also, on a totally unrelated note, is it a good idea to track in Pro Tools, while mixing in another program, such as cubase, or will that not work? The reason I ask is because I have a greater selection of plugins on my Cubase rig.

Anyone used this preamp ?

I am looking for something to use on acoustic guitar and vocals and this is in my price range.

Any advice ?
thanks

Hi All.

I have a basic question about the use of mic preamps. If I'm controling my DAW with a FW-1082 and I use an outboard preamp, do I run the output of the preamp into the mic ins on the 1082, or do I go thru the line ins? I'm guessing I don't want to pre-amp the output of the pre-amp with the inferior Tascam pre-amp, thus negating the value of the expensive outboard pre.

What seems more useful: using the two channels on overheads or on the bass + snare?

Thanks

i am setting up a DAW right now, and i need to get my hands on a nice mic preamp.
I have been looking at Focusrite TWIN-TRAK-PRO. also i have looked into both the Joemeek twinQ Dual Channel and the Joemeek OneQ.

any advice on any of these would be great. or if there is something killer sounding in this price range that i am unaware of, feel free to inform.
